As you may have noticed, I also contribute a number of local news articles to the website... it's a fair bit of writing - enough to keep me busy - that's why I seem to have abandoned my blog. As we live in the same region, perhaps we could meet over coffee one day and you could give me some pointers on pursuing a career in piphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255689597217392856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489210412257406098.post-849528753354367242008-10-28T07:27:00.000+10:002008-10-28T07:27:00.000+10:00It's something of a fairy story isn't it Judy?

We all knew of his past but as usual they did a great story with the doco and spread the word throughout the land. You can imagine. They followed the orchestra's trauma of going to Brisbane and whether or not they'd meet the bills. <BR/>I think the trip may have helped June Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194576632686640776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489210412257406098.post-5471344709141510512008-10-27T13:53:00.000+10:002008-10-27T13:53:00.000+10:00Hi SylviaWouldn't it be good if we could gather al...Hi Sylvia<BR/>Wouldn't it be good if we could gather all of our bloggy mates to get to the concert next year to help them out!
